new install issues

Hi, I just bought MTG for Windows '95, from a Half Price Books, but I can't seem to get it to work on my OS. I am running Windows XP SP3, and when I try to launch Shandalar, i get as far as naming my character before it crashes with an error.
"File-> G:\NewMagic\sources\sid\glue.c, Line-> 708
Could Not Load Dave's Extra Cool Timer"

If I could get some help, it would be much appreciated

thanks!

There is no patch that you could install and make it run in newer systems. There is the MTG iso 2010 that has original shandalar (adventure part) unchanged. Also has Manalink (duels, gauntlet) with some extra cards and better graphics. That runs in windows xp and newer OS.

You may want instead to try this one for shandalar which has some extras:

Finally you may want to try this for Manalink only which has new cards as far as fate reforged.
